Callie's Senior Session - Brazoswood High School

Meet Callie! She's fun, she's beautiful, and she is the sweetest girl you will ever meet. She is also the sister of my "brother-in-law's" girlfriend (oh yeah I did just totally call Terry's brother an in-law. Why not, everyone else does, so I might as well jump on the bandwagon, ha!). Anyway, what I am getting at is that she is also part of the wonderful world of friends (see previous entry). So a huge THANK YOU to Callie and Aaron's (the "brother-in-law") girlfriend, Margo!

Anyway, Callie you were great! I love all the different looks we got and you were just a pure joy to work with! Good luck in College and all your future endeavors!

Ashlyn's Senior Session - Brazosport High School Senior

Ok, so I will admit it, every year I say that I am going to concentrate more on high school senior portraiture and then before I know it the year is over and I am making the same promise to myself for the following year.

My senior site has been under construction for over a year and will probably stay that way until 2022, ok not that long, especially since the world is suppose to end in  2012, but I really want to get it finished, but I don't see that happening any time soon.

Luckily, I have amazing friends and good old fashion word-of-mouth.

So this is Ashlyn, she is the girlfriend of Daniel, who senior pictures I did last year, and his sister's quince portraits a few months ago all because his mother is the sister-in-law of a college roommate who I did pictures for when she graduated from college and liked what she saw. It's people like them that keep my business going forward. Hopefully one day I will be able to find the time to give them a helping hand :) But in the meantime, A HUGE THANK YOU!!!

Back to Ashlyn... all I really have to say is wow. She was so much fun to work with and together, I think, we created beautiful images. 

Thanks Ashlyn for spending the afternoon with me and thanks to Daniel for holding my light! It was fun hanging out with you guys again!

LilyAnn's Senior Session

Hmmm... what can I say about Ms. LilyAnn... not much... except that she is Awesome! With a capital "A". Why? Because she was up for anything and worked it like America's Next Top Model! Sassy, funny, beautiful, and smart- boy's a Texas Tech, WATCH OUT!!!

Just a few of my favs...

LilyAnn, it was so much fun working with you! I know your going to give'em hell at Tech!

Melissa's graduation invitations and wallets

Remember Melissa? You can find her post here. Well I just wanted to share her graduation invitations she decided on along with her wallets...

I don't know which one is my favorite... but they are front and back (these are only the front of the design) and will be printed on pearl card stock. Size is a 5X7.

This should have the black outline all around the image so that you can tell it has a white boarder. I don't know why every time I do this the black line only shows up on the right side.

Melissa's wallets will also be printed on pearl card stock and will be the size of a standard business card.

Daniel's senior session!

Daniel is graduating from Brazosport High School in May! He brought his girlfriend along for the shoot and she was awesome  when it come to helping out with the gear and helping Daniel loosen up! So a HUGE thank you to Ashlyn!! Although, as much as he doesn't want to admit it, I think he really enjoyed being in front of the camera! I really didn't have to do much, but just ask him to stand somewhere and he would do the rest.

So here is a few for his new modeling portfolio...

After Daniel's session we spent a few minutes capturing them together. Isn't Ashlyn adorable?!?
The only thing she was concerned about was making sure she didn't look fat! Girl! Please!

Melissa's senior session seak peek

Have I ever said how much I love shooting high school seniors. I love the fact that each session is a challenge, a challenge in that I personally talk to my senior clients and ask them what they want and then try and give it to them. Not one senior is the same, and they all want different things and I love that!

I met Melissa about a year ago at my work's Christmas party (this was when I was still an auditor, yuck) she came with her mom and we hit it off pretty quickly. I ended up doing her older sisters senior session (and as you can tell they are completely different) not to long after the Christmas party and I always find it a compliment when I have repeat business.

Melissa it was fun hanging out with you! And great seeing you again! Congrats on the graduation!!!

This is a concept that we talked about and I have been wanting to do for awhile. I saved it just for her, but I still need to tweak it. Luckily I brought the two best assistants in the world (my mom and Terry). It took us a few... ok SEVERAL shots to get something I was happy with ( again I need to tweak it). But it was well worth the retakes seeing them both (my mom and Terry) sprinting back and forth on loose gravel while waving flashlights with color gels for every shot. It looked like a two person rave who were on a acid trip gone wrong (not that I have experienced either one, but if I had, I am sure that is what it would look like and can I say "acid trip" on a post I am making for a high school senior? I guess it's too late now...).
I think half the shots were trashed because I kept laughing sooooo hard and therefore shaking the camera! But this was certainly one of those moments when you sit back and go "damn, my family must really love me," hahaha...

Arica's senior session sneak peek

Strong, independent, and beautiful! She makes our family proud! It really only seems like yesterday I was babysitting her and her brother for the summer. She has grown up so fast and has become an amazing young women.

Congratulations again Arica!!!

Jo-An's Senior Session

Ms. Jo-An is from Angleton High school and will be attending the University of Houston in the fall. Good luck girl! I know you will do great! Here is your sneak peek as promised...

Gabbi's Senior Session

Thankfully the rain held off long enough for Gabbi and I to get through her session today. I think almost every one had the same idea because Herman park was covered in photographers today! It was awesome! Anyway, it was a long session, Gabbi was fun to work with and her and her mom were just fun to hang out with! I found a few new locations that I will have to go back to as well, so I am excited about that! Well, here is some from todays session...
